Angelina Jolie Slams Donald Trump : Find Out Why

Angelina Jolie joined the ever-growing list of celebrities who’ve publicly lashed out at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and the celebrity activist gave a very pointed reason for why she opposes the mogul on Monday, May 16.

Jolie, 40, the special envoy of the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Refugees, was speaking at a migration event coordinated by BBC in London, when she shared her thoughts about the controversial candidate. According to CNN, Jolie “closed her eyes and shook her head in disapproval” when she was asked about Trump’s comments about Muslims. (The mogul suggested a temporary ban on allowing Muslims, including those women and children fleeing war-ravaged Syria, from entering the United States.)

According to UsWeekly report, “To me, America is built on people from around the world coming together for freedoms, especially freedom of religion,” the Maleficent actress replied. “So it’s hard to hear this is coming from someone who is pressing to be an American president.” (Jolie has yet to endorse a candidate.)

In her chat, the Unbroken director also discussed the unsubstantiated fear about allowing immigrants into the country. “It has created the risk of a race to the bottom, with countries competing to be the toughest,” the mom of six told the audience, according to the Associated Press.

Jolie also compared the ongoing refugee crisis to World War II, and suggested countries around the world coordinate and work together to help support the startling 60 million displaced people around the world.

“I have been very, very disheartened by my own country’s response to the situation,” she said.
